SUSPENSION OF THE CONSTITUTION.
To the Editor. Sir, —It was positively refreshing to read your common sense leader of last night. It is evident the Legislature is quite unable to cope with “the critical position into which the Colony is diifting.” I would suggest that a public meeting be called to request the Imperial Government to suspend the Constitution and to administer affairs by Comnussioncrsfrom Home: or, as public meetings are toe often spoiled by demagogues, that the initiative b»; taken by r working men, &c.—say through their clubs and societies. They would be sup ported by' the Press of England, as well as by the capitalists of Loudon, who hold some twenty millions of New Zealand bonds and aro getting anxious about their security', as it is beyond question that the public men of the Colony arc ouitn unfitted to grapple with the present state of things, and who rre for the most part engaged in “ feathering their own nests.” - I am, &e , Ori.si’uv'Eß. Dunedin, August 16.
